If I had my own way
 You'd be here with me today
 But I rarely have my own way
 I guess that's why you're not here with me today
 And the librarian said
 You can't buy no respect
 I said hey lady what can you expect
 When I'm lying on the floor

 You I love the lady but she don't wanna be
 No girl of mine
 Well the only thing you ever done for me
 Was help me waste my time
 And I saw you at the funeral
 You were standing there like a temple
 I said hi, how are you, hello
 And I pulled up a casket and crawled in
 Yes, I did

 Climbed up a Mountain and I looked around
 Some kind of circus with all them clowns
 I said hey wait a minute can't we slow down a bit
 And I almost got hit by a [bad word]  Well it just goes to show you that we're all on our own
 Scrounging for our own share of good luck
 Stab your brother in the back
 And pick up your pay check

 Good-bye lonely heart Jolene
 you never did work anyhow
 I'm looking for a nice girl
 and I don't want no cow
 I'm heading out West
 Gonna find me the best
 Well I played the game but I failed the test
 If I can't be a lover then I'll be a pest
 Yes, I will
